This page is dedicated to the extensive fleet of Dennis Lancets operated by Aldershot & District Traction
Company Ltd. in Surrey, Hampshire and West Sussex both before and after the second world war.
The archetypal post-war Aldershot & District Dennis Lancet with Strachans bodywork. This is one of
the twenty three Lancet III buses purchased in 1949 and typifies the styling with which the type was known for
decades. No.114 (GOU 814) is seen on Route 17 in Castle Street, Farnham in the late 1950s. Many thanks to Peter
Trevaskis for the fine picture, via the Aldershot & District Bus Interest Group. See further down this page
for a picture of the same vehicle after retirement and conversion to a service lorry.
INTRODUCTION AND CREDITS
Aldershot & District Traction Company (known affectionately as "Tracco") operated more than 300 Dennis Lancet
buses and coaches over the years, with the first example being acquired in 1932. What follows is an attempt to
create a brief history of the type, in the form of records and images designed to give even the casual reader some
impression of the development and classic styling of this extensive fleet.
The company's predecessor, Aldershot & Farnborough Motor Omnibus Co., was formed in 1906, and adopted the
A & D name in 1912, acquiring its first Dennis bus in 1916.
For many years A & D favoured products from the local firm of Dennis Bros. Ltd., Guildford. Similarly, bodywork
for the majority of their vehicles for around 30 years came from the firm of Strachans Successors Ltd., of North
Acton, London W3 (originally known as Strachans and Brown). The resultant Dennis / Strachans styling for their
halfcab single deckers became synonymous with A & D and was immediately identifiable as one of their distinctive
fleet. Five of the breed survive today in preservation, one pre-war example and four post-war.
Initially the vehicles were identified by the prefix "D" (representing "Dennis") added to the company chassis
number. This was shown in small characters, usually on the bonnet. In late 1950 / early 1951 this practice was
dropped, and a larger "list number" was displayed on the front and back of the vehicle. This was effectively a
fleet number, and bore no relation to the previous numbering system.
From the company's last batch of halfcab Lancets, this is No.181 (HOU 907) in the mid 1960s, probably at
Godalming depot. Photographer unknown.
Owners of pictures, when known, are credited, and their use is much appreciated. However the photographers of
some pictures are not shown on the original photograph, and therefore are not known to me. Whoever they were I
thank them, and if they contact me with their names they will of course be credited. If a rightful owner wishes
me to remove any image, it will be done forthwith. However I hope that photographers (or copyright holders) will
permit the use of these fine pictures in their proper context.
As with my other lists, there are bound to be mistakes, and some relevant information may be missing so, in order
to make it as accurate a reference as possible, I would of course welcome any additions or corrections.

Lancet D441 (BOT 292), nearing the end of its service around 1950, from the first batch of Lancet II
vehicles, with the revised style of radiator grille. This delivery had a more 'modern' appearance, very much like
the post-war vehicles that were to follow. Photo by M.C.Lawson, via The Aldershot & District Bus Interest Group.
Gordon Oram wrote to say "This bus is probably parked in the old station yard at Guildford. It has been on route 65
which went from Guildford to the village of Puttenham. The route went into Compton off the A3 where the bus had to turn
round before continuing its journey. I can remember many trips in the early 1950s on this route to an aunt who lived in
Puttenham. The route ran every hour and the yellow bus services had a route that ran hourly from Guildford to Farnham
through Puttenham and Seale (not going down to Compton). This gave the village a half hourly service."
Built; 1936-37
Chassis: Dennis Lancet II, petrol engine.
Body: Strachans B32R, but built to virtual coach standard, some with full-length roof luggage pannier.
D446 > 703 (BOT 297) c/n 175191. Decorated to celebrate Coronation of King George VI in 1937. To War Department

DENNIS LANCET II BUSES - D543-D581 / 804-842 (Total 39)
Seen around 1950 is Lancet 805 (DHO 268) with a Strachans body on Route 19 to Aldershot. Photo by kind
permission of PM Photography, Camberley.
As a comparison with the photo above, Lancet 816 (DHO 279) has a Dennis-built body. Does anyone recognise
the location? Photo by Norman Hamshere, Guildford.
Paul Wyatt kindly emailed to say "The Bus is parked at the arrival point at the Aldershot Bus Station. The fence on
the right of the photo is that of the Railway Station yard, and the building behind the bus is the South Western Hotel. The
buses would draw into the Bus Station and they would set down their passengers at this point, later marked on the tarmac as
Setting Down Bay; the crew would go off for a brew or change routes, the new crew moving onto the bay." Thank you Paul.
Built; Late 1939 / early 1940.
Chassis: Dennis Lancet II, Gardner 5LW oil engine.
Body: Nineteen (the first six, and the last thirteen) had Strachans B32R bodies, and the other twenty had virtually
identical Dennis B32R bodies.

Built; 1941-42 ("unfrozen" chassis)
Chassis: Dennis Lancet II, Gardner 5LW oil engine.
Body: Strachans B32R or B32F
Notes: Aldershot & District were fortunate to be able to take delivery of these 'unfrozen' wartime buses which
were virtually identical to their peacetime specifications. All were renumbered in 1951.
D598 > 859 (ECG 380) c/n 175757. Deliv.1941. Strachans B32R. Body renovated by Portsmouth Aviation 1948. Withdrawn 1954.

DENNIS LANCET III BUS - D606 / 887 (Total 1)
As part of press demonstration of this Dennis Lancet III prototype, EOR 743 (wearing trade plates 659 PB)
is seen here having climbed a 1 in 4.5 hill at Shottermill, near Haslemere in May 1945. Photographer unknown.
The one-off Lancet III prototype when in service as No.887 (EOR 743) in the early 1950s. Seen at
Aldershot bus station on a short working of Route 6 to Bordon Camp. Photographer unknown.
Built; Early 1945
Chassis: Dennis Lancet III, Dennis "O6" 7.585 litre direct-injection 6-cylinder oil engine.
Body: Dennis B32R
Notes; The first Lancet III built by Dennis (prototype).
D 606 > 887 (EOR 743) c/n 175781. Renumbered 887 in 1951. Withdrawn 1956.
DENNIS LANCET III BUSES - D607-656 / 894-943 (Total 50)
This is one of the fifty Lancet III buses purchased immediately after the war and typifies the styling
with which the type was known for decades. No.923 (EOU 464) had originally been numbered D636. It claims to be
going to "Hindhead, via Hindhead", and Geoff Baker tells me he is sure the location is the drive up to Hindhead
Depot, known as "the slope" (Geoff Courtnage wrote to say that he agrees with this location). Photo; thanks to
Peter Trevaskis, via the Aldershot & District Bus Interest Group.
Martin Grinstead wrote "Just a short note on EOU 464. I think the destination blind is correct but probably reads
'Hindhead Golf Club via Hindhead'. This was an extra part of route 19 to allow passengers to get to Beacon Hill,
which was the busiest part of the route from Haslemere. Another route was the 19A during the summer, which ran all
the way to Bognor via Chichester bus station."
Built; December 1946 to June 1948
Chassis: Dennis Lancet III J3, Dennis "O6" 7.585 litre direct-injection 6-cylinder oil engine.
Body: Strachans B32R, some with rear roof luggage pannier.
D623 > 910 (EOU 451) c/n 101J3, deliv. 3/47, first production Lancet III. Withdrawn 1956. With Smiths, Reading
1959, derelict and apparently used for spares.
DENNIS LANCET III BUSES & COACHES - D 657-700 / 944-987 (Total 44)
Lancet No.983 (GAA 619) seen at Windsor on 16 June 1961, during its last season of service with A & D. Later that
year it was to be sold, and relegated to carrying workers as a contractors' bus. Photo by kind permission of Nigel Lemon.
Built; 1948-49
Chassis: Dennis Lancet III J3, Dennis "O6" 7.585 litre direct-injection 6-cylinder oil engine.

DENNIS LANCET III BUSES - D707-D729 / 101-123 (Total 23)
Lancet No.103 (GOU 803) in the 1950s (Photo origin unknown). Gordon Oram tells me "The photo of 103 is
taken at Woking Station bus stand one. The bus is on route 64 which ran every 2 hours via Westfield and Mayford
to Pirbright Fox Corner as it was known 50 or so years ago, now just known as Fox Corner. I often used to travel
on this route out to my home at Westfield. The hoarding on the wall behind the bus is an advert for Moldram, Clark
and Edgley which was an estate agent for the town."
Lancet No.114 (GOU 814), seen in full glory at the top of this page, was withdrawn in 1961 and became a
service lorry with the entire rear body cut away. Here we see it at its base, Hindhead depot, on 12 April 1968 in
its new guise as No.38 with trade plates, alongside 1954 AEC Reliance 271 (MOR 602). Originally from a batch of 25,
Reliance 271 was not one of the 15 rebuilt with Weymann bus bodies for further service in 1965-67, and still retains
its Strachan "Everest" coach body, but it remained in the fleet until the end of 1968. It was then sold to a
building contractor in Warrington for workers' transport. Photo by kind permission of Peter Esposito, via Chris Stanley.
Built; 1949
Chassis: Dennis Lancet III J3, Dennis "O6" 7.585 litre direct-injection 6-cylinder oil engine.
Body: Strachans B32R, some with rear roof luggage panniers.
Notes; All still active in 1956, but all gone by 1961.

Lancet No.178 (HOU 904) photographed especially for this website by Chris Wagstaff at Matlock Bus Station
on 1 Dec 2007. The only survivor of this batch, it has been beautifully restored, and had brought visitors into
Matlock for the annual Christmas Victorian Weekend.
Lancet No.184 (HOU 910) in the 1960s at Woking Station (Photo origin unknown). Gordon Oram again informs
me "The picture of 184 is again definitely at Woking Station. The buses often used to park up the road from the
actual 5 or 6 bus stops until it was time for the pick up. This appears to be what 184 is doing. I well remember
the wooden fencing and have spent hours of my early teenage years there watching both trains and buses."
Built; 1950
Chassis: Dennis Lancet III J10, Dennis "O6" 7.585 litre direct-injection 6-cylinder oil engine. 30 foot chassis.
Body: Strachans B38R, 30 feet long x 8 feet wide, with no roof luggage panniers.
Notes; These were the last Lancets to receive A&D 'list numbers', and by 1967 the surviving examples may well
have been the last halfcab single-deckers still in service within the BET group. The arrival of these first 30 foot
vehicles for A & D coincided with the publicity surrounding the mighty Bristol Brabazon airliner that had just
been produced at Bristol (Filton) aerodrome. So, due to their size, they were known as "Brabs". HOU 900 was left out
of the sequence as this registration was allotted to a sole Dennis Dominant, No.174.
D783 (HOU 904) is the sole survivor.
